Memory Route in Santiago
Hey there! Ça va? :) They call me Clau, I am an actress and English and French translator-interpreter. I have lived in Ireland, England, Canada and France. Travel is a wonderful gift of concentrated growth and sharing of deep personal experiences. I love the performing arts, that's what I dedicate myself to when there is an opportunity and I work for two theater companies. I also love animals, especially dogs, in fact I have a little 3-legged dog named Clavito and he fills my days with light!

I will be in the center of the Plaza de la Ciudadanía, next to the papal fence in front of the south exit of the Palacio de La Moneda with my brown backpack.
Description
Hello friends!
I imagine that they are eager to get to know our city through the footprints and landmarks displayed in the historic center of Santiago. But apart from the progress that this metropolis has presented from the pre-Hispanic stage onwards to become what you can see today, there is a part of that story, not always graceful, that constitutes part of our identity as a country. It is about our historical memory , an indispensable piece in the development of any democracy.
Making these episodes visible is a task for all of us who participate in the education and promotion of spaces of awareness that promote a "Never Again." Therefore, 50 years after that dark period, I invite you to learn about the main events, places and key people located in that same historic center, with a different approach, which will allow you to better understand the reasons for the current polarization and division. politics in our country.
We will visit spaces such as:
- The exterior of La Moneda, the Plaza de la Constitución and its surroundings
- commemorative plaques of executed politicians
- the exterior of 3 detention and punishment centers
- a space of resistance like the Vicariate of Solidarity
This is a special trip, a unique experience of understanding, empathy and solidarity where for a few hours you will be able to put yourself in the shoes of the Chileans and see through their eyes.
